Narrative:
My left main tire was fully deflated when I landed my PA23-250. I was able to maintain control of the aircraft during rollout. However, the aircraft needed to be jacked up and tugged clear off the runway. This process took close to 45 mins and runways 9/27 was closed. This did cause delay for numerous aircraft. Upon inspection the tire checked ok and a new tube was installed.
